Back in Florida

After a busy travel week, first to Virginia for Mother's birthday celebration. Saw lots of family and enjoyed the short time I was there.  Caught up with Mary and Chesty...



And my girls...



Then from Virginia I flew to New Orleans to see some more family and to look at some houses.  For those of you that have never seen the Mississippi here's a shot from the plane.



Had a great night out with my SIL and cousin...great food and company...sorry, I forgot the camera. We closed the place down that night!

Then it was on to look at houses.  That was a successful trip, as we now have a house in New Orleans!  It's large and has a huge studio space. It's a great location...near the yacht club. We are thrilled to have gotten it.  This is the of the back of the house.

And last, one taken at the yacht club and marina



So now we just need to sell the Florida  house, pack up and move!  Today we had an open house here..hopefully we'll sell quickly...two houses is a pain!

Hope you all are enjoying the last few days of prep for Christmas!

  7. At least you don't close on the new house for a while. That gives you some breathing room.

    Are you going to have the movers pack? After doing my last 5 moves that way I wouldn't want to have to pack everything myself although I do a lot of my quilting stuff myself.
